Sebastian

With all the business of the last week plus, I'm only now wrapping up my post from June 10th.

He arrived as a rousing success. Sebastian was born that afternoon, 20.5 inches long and 7 lbs, 3oz. While he got to go home two days later, the very next he went back to the hospital, stayed for two, then has gone back and forth since. Poor kid had that bilirubin problem, but seems to have overcome that. Now everything is working properly and he's home with his Mom, Dad, and big sister, Evelyn. Uncle Jay doesn't go up to visit until the start of July, but is already planning plenty of spoiling.

8:55 AM and Pacing

It's 8:55AM as I type this (just right now) and it's all I can do to not get up and pace. Now it's 8:56 and significantly harder to sit here. I'm in anticipation-mode and bouncing off the walls...

See, the baby is coming. My sister got in touch yesterday to let me know the doctor decided to check her into the hospital last night and induce labor. I'm not sure how I feel about ptocin, but I'm just happy to hear little nephew-man is on his way. Is he here yet? Is he still in there? I don't know... I'm not going to call and pester them -they're busy. They'll contact me when they're ready.

Knowing that doesn't make the waiting any easier.

Mom is on her way there -on a flight due in at 10AM. With renting a car she should reach the hospital by 11. Her, I can bother for updates. 10 can't get here fast enough.

In the meantime, I should re-confirm the quilt I'm having made now that I'll have an official birthdate soon, then go get my niece a special "I'm a big sister" present.
